Kraków is full of surprises. Here's a summer itinerary that goes well beyond the Main Square. ☀️
Whether you're visiting as a couple, a family or with friends, here's a simple summer itinerary to inspire your trip.
🚖 Day 1 – Explore Kraków Without Melting
Start the day exploring Kraków's beautiful Old Town before the afternoon heat kicks in. If you'd rather not spend hours walking in the sun, a private golf buggy tour is a great way to see the highlights of the Old Town, Kazimierz and Podgórze while staying cool.
As the evening rolls in, head to Bezogródek. With palm trees, food trucks, beach-style seating and a laid-back atmosphere, it's one of the closest things you'll find to a tropical beach bar in the city.
🏖️🦙 Day 2 – Lakes, Alpacas & Summer Fun
Many visitors are surprised to discover that Kraków has several great places to cool off during the summer.
The lakes pictured are from Przylasek Rusiecki, around 30 minutes from the Old Town, where you'll find sandy beaches, swimming areas, walking paths and even an inflatable water park.
But that's just one option. Kraków is full of surprises, with several lakes and swimming spots in and around the city. Zakrzówek, located within the city itself, is another popular place to escape the heat, while Kryspinów remains a favourite with locals during the summer months.
If fancy making a day of it, combine your lake trip with a visit to a nearby alpaca farm where alpacas, goats and other friendly animals roam freely around the grounds. It's a great option for families during the summer holidays, but couples tend to love it too.
Just one tip: arrive early on hot days, weekends and public holidays, as the most popular spots can get very busy.
🥩 Day 3 – A Feast to Finish
After a couple of days of exploring, swimming and sunshine, treat yourself to a proper feast. Our Steak & Beer or Wine Pairing Experience is the perfect way to round off a summer break, with premium cuts, carefully selected drinks and plenty of food to share.
Whether you're looking for city sights, tropical vibes, family-friendly activities or somewhere to cool off, Kraków has far more to offer than most people expect.
